"Qu'apporte ce livre ? une histoire, serrée d'aussi près que possible, de cette attachante aventure d'amour, un exposé synthétique de la vie des deux grands écrivains depuis leur rencontre jusqu'à leur séparation.

Là où elle cesse de nous intéresser, c'est-à-dire d'être nécessaire à l'explication de ses chefs-d'oeuvre", précise dans son introduction Paul MARIETON, écrivain lyonnais, poète, félibre et historien du félibrige (1862-1911); avec documents inédits, dont lettres d'Alfred de MUSSET.
